Just as bad:  Pulling up to a stop light behind a huge truck and you can't see the light.  eff, man.  I can't see that rough ridin' light.  How am I supposed to know when to go?

Here's a scenario that I hate: Pulling up to a red light/yellow light, but still pretty far away. I'm in the right lane because I'm turning right. There's a car right in front of me, and they don't plan to turn right. No one is to the left of us. GET IN THE LEFT LANE!! YOU HAVE NO REASON TO BE IN THE RIGHT LANE AND NOW I HAVE TO WAIT ON YOU BEFORE I CAN TURN RIGHT!!!

I was at the stop sign first. Like, totally first. I was sitting there all alone, for like 30 seconds, wanting to make a left turn, but was forced to wait - and wait - and wait - until traffic in front of me (going both directions) had finally cleared. After a minute, it begins to look like things are clearing up. I look to my left, and there are no cars coming! Yes!

Then, I look to my right, and ... what's this? Where did this car come from? And why did it pull up in front of the stop sign?

Now I can't see! Now I have to wait!

Again!





I'm confused.. there were no cars coming but the guy on your right stuck around in your sightline long enough for you to get out your phone and take a pic?  Why didn't he take his right turn if no cars were coming?

i shouldn't have said "no cars." there were definitely cars. it was more like, "hooray, upcoming pocket after these few cars pass..."

If the car can't turn right it'll be hard to turn left anyway.

I just don't understand why you didn't pull into the intersection with your turn signal on and wait for the car across from you to pass

It's like a side street thingy. Not a highway.

For some reason, this picture makes me think of the People's Court when Judge Wapner made people go up to the board and demonstrate how the accident happened.

I hate this also as much as when I am at a red light trying to turn right and someone in the left turn lane just keeps creeping up so I can't see if there is any traffic for my right on red turn.

I think Unruly is saying that the person making the left turn should have to wait back and the person making the right turn should inch ahead. The person making the right turn has the easier turn and will be able to make the turn a higher percentage of the time, so they should be allowed to go first. Pretty much the opposite of what you are pissed at.

i think jrake would be the most satisfying poster on goEMAW.com to beat the crap out of.  that is not to say he's the poster i hate the most.

i once had a friend who got so irritated by me that he challenged me to a fight.

i told him to give me his jacket.

"my jacket?" he said. "what for?"

"i don't think you'll want to walk around in a bloody jacket," i told him.

anyway, even after that, he still seemed interested in fighting.

so he begins to pull off his jacket. problem is, it's one of these ...



trust me, i had no interest in fighting him. none at all. he lived a few streets over from me, we were good friends, his parents knew my parents, and so on. but i mean, HIS FACE WAS BURIED IN A JACKET! i had a wide open shot here. the opportunity was too good to pass up.

days later, at his funeral, that's how i explained it.

his parents were upset, of course, and i didn't blame them. i even admitted at the time that whacking him with the trumpet case was a bit excessive, as was carving my name in his abdomen with a rock. (wearing his jacket to the funeral was also poor judgment.)

I'VE COME A LONG WAY SINCE THEN!

if you're aware of the effect you have on people, why don't you change?
